Safety and comfort are the main qualities worthy of the owner of the car. If you are a bunch of yourself and every passenger, choose motor vehicles with a complete set. Fog lights are not a mandatory component of the machine: manufacturers are often ignored by this functional and useful element, wanting to reduce the maintenance as possible. On how to install and how to adjust the fog lights, will be described further.

Advantages of functional lighting equipment

Fog lights allow partially to relieve the load from the driver's eye during a forced trip in difficult weather conditions. With their help, it is possible to achieve better lighting of the roadway. The greatest headlights lies in the exact flow of light, which depends on the lighting of the road.

Instruments with precise adjustment light up to 10 meters of space in front of the car, which is quite enough for safe Movement in difficult weather conditions. Of course, it will be necessary to adhere to a certain speed \u200b\u200bregime. Headlight regulation is carried out during the installation of the equipment. The quality of the lighting of the roadbed completely depends on the adjustment of the angle of the fall of the light stream.

Connecting fista-brain

To cope with the installation of fog lamps on the car will be able to any driver that has an idea how to properly handle the tool. If you can only drive a car, while not touching the toolkit, it is hardly possible to equip personal car fog. In this case, it is recommended to refer to the station specialists. maintenance. Before connecting the equipment, you will need to assemble some tools and materials. You will need:

• wiring set for connecting fog headlights;
• insulating tape;
• pad headlights;
• piercing tools;
• fuse;
• power button.

As soon as the set for connecting the fog lights is assembled and ready to work, proceed to connecting fog. Below is the installation algorithm:

1. First you need to remove the central panel, where there is a pair of light bulb lights of the furnace regulator.
2. Come on the wires to the wires until it is possible to felt the connector into two contacts, which is useful during the connection process. The connector will subsequently need to fix the first contact on the relay.
3. Take the first wire, then connect with the furnace connector, while connecting the second wire to the button
4. Move the wire to the relay, so that it will be possible to obtain a 12-volt chain and contact 85 (as it shows the connection diagram of the fog lights through the relay below).
5. Contact 87 will need to stretch to the battery under the pedals of the car. Also at this stage is a fuse, calculated for the maximum current of 15 amps. Try to place a fuse closer to the battery
6. Contact 86 closes with the body of motor vehicles.
7. Two wires (+ and -) are summed up for each pala. Both plus running from headlights must be connected, while minus connects to the body. Plus connects to the corresponding battery terminal. Move it to the relay so that the wires are inconspicuous, and then connect with the connector marked on the diagram of the number 30.

After you managed to connect fog lights, be sure to test them, check the performance. If the headlights do not turn on - an error is made.

Installation Recommendations and Equipment Requirements

Installation of fog lights must be installed according to the rules road. PDDs are prescribed items as to how to finish the car by fog. If you can not independently understand the installation of fog lights, having a scheme and clear sequence, we recommend contacting the competent specialist. So it will be possible to reduce nervous cells and personal time. The fog connection circuit is contained on PDD pages.

It will be possible to achieve high-quality lighting of the road leaf in bad weather conditions with appropriate adjustment of the angle of the light flux.

The light should spread above the horizontal plane. Installing the headlights should be in the lower area of \u200b\u200bthe body to achieve rapprochement of devices with the road.

By installing fog in the lower part of the machine, take care of the safety of the headlights, preventing shocks from sticks, stones, often located on the road. To do this, use special plugs. Clean the fog lamps, keep them clean, and then the equipment will serve you for many years.

LED fog lights

Russian lamp manufacturers hurry to stop the release of ordinary lamps and go to energy-saving. And it is logical - they significantly save electricity, have a longer service life, have low heat dissipation and range of glow colors. And what about cars? It is strange, but here the process of transition to LED lamps is slower, although the benefits of using such lanterns can be obtained by a weight.

Advantages of LED fog-leather

First, fog lED headlights Very reliable. Secondly, the light from them has a clear border and during the fog beam raws directly above the road, highlighting the fog from below. Thirdly, fog drawers help not only during fog, but also at the snowfall, abundant rain, etc. We note, fog lights (PTF) and rear fog lights may be included simultaneously in three cases: in the fog, under conditions of insufficient visibility and Conditions of limited visibility. In fourth, the LED headlights are fireproof, because they are not heated. Fifth, PTF wins not only before ordinary lamps, but in front of xenon. Thus, LED lamps practically do not blind passing cars and, unlike not prohibited in European countries, and brightness lED lamps According to the latest research commensurate with 40 W xenon.

The housing of the LED lamps is made of metal, which is favorable for cooling the lamps.

Installation of fog lights

Today, many car owners do not quite correctly refer to the installation of fog, putting the desire to transform the car to the first place. But it is correct to achieve a help from LED lamps on the road.

Here it will be important to recall the rules provided for by the traffic rules regarding the installation of PTF. On the passenger cars is allowed to install only two fog lights with white or yellow scatteers. They should be placed symmetrically relative to the longitudinal axis no further than 400 mm from the plane of the side dimension (on the outer edge of the headlight) and not below 250 mm on the surface level of the road surface (at the bottom edge of the headlight). For passenger cars Limitations in height are superimposed by the requirement to position additional lights not higher than the headlights of the near light. The headlights installed on the car should not heat the standard optics.

In addition, the conjunction scheme for the onboard network should provide for their joint inclusion with dimensional lights and license plate lighting. It is very important to correctly set the angle of inclination of the headlight, if it is reduced by a couple of degrees, then it is hardly possible to appreciate the advantages of PTF - this light will shine in the eyes of the oncoming drivers and create a light wall.

Thus, only a professional will be able to properly install fog lights so that you can feel the maximum convenience of using them and not violate the rules of the road. Specialists of the Car service "Planet Junior" have a rich experience in installing PTF and give a guarantee for their work.

For today, automotive lighting includes many elements. This is not only a head optics, but also fog lights. They are very important in the car, thanks to them, it is possible to safely move in difficult weather conditions, such as snowfall, rain, fog.

But unfortunately on basic equipment Some models are not provided, in connection with which it is necessary to install them on their own. But how can this be done in detail in this article.

Installation of foglights. General leadership

1) . Usually fog Far Installed on the top edge of the bumper. The place is quite comfortable, plus to secure them there is not difficult. It is enough to correctly calculate the installation location, then drill small holes in the bumper and fasten the headlights.

2) . You can also consolidate the headlights on the "kenguryatnik". Now often their design has places to secure them.

3) . Much more complicated fog in the body of the bumper, although it is possible. To do this, you need to correctly calculate the future location of them, make marking on the size of the headlights and cut the corresponding holes. In cases, if this type of installation was chosen, the fog lights should have a wide edging to cover the possible gaps between the bumper and the headload.

4) . In this case, in the bumper, cut the holes under these seats, and then the headlights are installed in them.

Connecting foglights.

1) . So, after installing foglights, they should also be connected correctly. The main condition in this case will be in compliance with the sequence.

2) . Initially, it is necessary to determine which of the outgoing wires from the headlights is "mass", and find a place where it is consolidated so that the connection is reliable. "Plus" wires from the headlights connect to one, and then it goes to one of the four relay outs of the relay, which exactly should be indicated in the instructions.

3) . The relay must also be disbanded. For convenience, you can then consolidate the relay in the pumproom space.

Installation of foglights on Lada Grant

The whole process of equipment of the car "fonts" can be divided into several stages:

• Removing the bumper.
• Installing headlights.
• Wiring.
• Connect headlights.
• Build parts in reverse sequence.

Remove bumper

1) . Remove the front number plate.

2) . Under the bumper there are two bolts. Unscrew them.

3) . Open the hood, remove 6 bolts that are fixing the radiator grille.

4) . Remove 3 bolts.

5) . We unscrew a pair of screws on each side connecting the droplets with a bumper.

6) . After that, remove a pair of screws on the wheel of the wheel arches.

7) . Tighten the corners of the bumper forward in the direction of movement and remove it.

Install the headlights

1) . In the center oval under the headlamp drills a hole with a diameter of up to 10 mm.

2) . Starting from this opening, a stationery knife along the inner diameter cut the circle.

3) . We process the hole, or the contour of which should be equal to the external diameter of the headlight.

4) . With the help of self-sufficiency, we install a headlight in the bumper.

5) . The cracks remaining after work fill with a sealant, otherwise dirt, snow or water can get into the gap.

Connection

1) . Take out the battery.

2) . We unscrew the screws that fastening the pad under it.

3) . Fixing the Block panel, weaken the bracket nut, removing the fuel tubes.

4) . We begin by deposit from right headlight Through the mudguard, then under the compressor, the generator and the cooling system fan.

5) . We spend the wire from the headlight through the left mudguard.

6) . In the subcontrol space we connect both wires. Then put them in the corrugation.

7) . We skip the corrugation under the block next to the headlights of the headlights, entering into the salon through the gum of these tubes.

8) . With wire laying finished. Now install the battery in place and attach the bumper. The schemes below indicate where you can consolidate mass terminals on the right side.

9) . Similarly, terminals and on the left side.

The power button can be made in two ways:

• Using the button attached in the mounting kit;
• Through a regular system of light control module (MUS).

Install the button

The first method is described in detail in the instructions for the set. So the installation scheme will look like using the button from the mounting kit.

Here it is also worth mentioning about the rules of connection. Blue wire connect with a plus ignition, white - with a plus from overall lights, black on "minus".

The relay in the system must necessarily. The strength of the current under the operating heads reaches 35 A, so without it, the button will not last long. Power on the relay is supplied from the fuse block or directly from the battery, as shown in the diagram.

Scheme using MUS

I would like to immediately note that this option is more complex, but it allows you to display the indication of the "fog" work on the dashboard. In addition, it will be necessary to purchase a Lira type terminals (large and small) to the assembly set.

In addition, the MUSO block will be required from the "Suite" grants. There are two types of this module on sale, the differences between which are in the presence of another position of the switch and additional contacts.

In addition, there should also be:

• two power relays with pads;
• two fuses 15 A;
• wires with a cross section of 1.5 kV, and 2.5 square meters.

The installation order looks like this:

1) . Fuses cover fuses on clips, so it is enough to remove it to pull it to yourself.

2) . We unscrew the three screws holding the instrument combination shield: steam at the top, one under the fuse shield.

3) . The combination itself holds on four screws. Miss them, then, shifting it aside, remove the connector of the connection. It is held by a special switch, which turn to the side.

4) . Then we remove the stitching of the steering column.

5) . I got to Mus. We unscrew one screw on them, remove it from the block. On the sides there will be two latches that press the screwdriver.

6) . Remove the handle from the hydrocorographic heador, pulling it on itself, then let go nut holding it on the panel, we cut it deep into, slightly shifted down.

7) . Now unscrew the fastening screw fastening screw.

8) . Removing the screw and shifting the unit to the left, freeing it from the mounts. Then we turn it over, after having removed several relays on the left side.

9) . We connect the pink wire from the ignition and the blue wire from the mounting unit, this will be supplied to the "plus" on the scheme. We disappear the connection place, then insulated it.

11) . Now on the ends of the wires coming from the "fog", we put on large "lira", insert them into the fuse block. The left headlight includes a fuse 17, right - by 16. Two remaining fuses connect to power relayas indicated in the scheme.

12) . Then we derive an additional wire to the instrument combination to indicate the inclusion of headlights, connecting to 15 contact.

13) . All the design we collect in reverse order. In now on, the inclusion of foglights will be provided through MUS, as well as the rest of the head lighting.

12) . We collect all the details in the reverse order. Do not forget to connect two black wires to extreme crankcase protection bolts.

13) . Go to the car salon. Remove the protective cover under the steer column. For this, 90 degrees turn 3 locks.

14) . You unscrew the screws with a screwdriver, which is located under the fuse block. Pull out the block.

15) . From the central console, remove the heating button rear glass and plug. They are left of the clock.

16) . From the set, reach the button with the wires. Long blue wire stretch to the fuse block, and the three remaining connected to the rear window heating button with the help of the clamps. Connect all according to the color scheme.

17) . In the fuse block insert the fog lamp relays included in the kit. Connect the wires according to the scheme:

• long blue to A85;
• red and black to 30 and 86;
• yellow wire from 87 with two outputs to F17, F18;
• take earlier the missed wires from under motor compartment and attach to F17, F18;
• two fuses from the kit insert into the socket F17, F18.

18) . We collect elements. Connect the mass to the battery, we turn on the ignition and check the health of the fog lights (PTF will only work when the ignition is turned on).

Installation of fog lights on Lada Vesta

This process includes the following steps:

• removing the bumper;
• preparation of landing place;
• installation of headlights;
• pTF connection.

1) . Turn off and pull out the battery.

2) . Remove the front bumper. The lower part of the fastening to the body 4 bolts to the body and 4 screws to the lingers. All this turns. Over the sides, we turn over 2 screws that are fixing it to lockers. Under the hood turn 6 bolts upper fastening to the body.

3) . It remains to extract two bolts under license plates. Here you already need to hold the bumper for the beam. Gently pull it on yourself to launch with side brackets.

4) . Now you have access to the right place, and it's time to move to the next stage.

Preparation of landing places and fixing headlights

1) . In place of fog headlamps are factory plugs. With the help of a crown at 76 mm, cut the holes in them.

2) . You should also take care of the hole under the PTF button in the car torpedo. To do this, choose a place on the center console or next to the opening button of the trunk.

Connecting fog lights

1) . From the right PTF, we deposit inside the metal box. In the salon from the engine compartment in the area of \u200b\u200bthe pedal node, we allow wiring through a special hole.

2) . We connect according to the universal scheme, as in cases of connecting the equipment on previous versions of the Lada Autolinee. Loading is taken from the battery (bolt M6) and through the fuse is fed to the contact relay.

3) . Plus comes from the mounting unit from the gabar fuse. Alternatively, you can use plus cigarette lighter.

4) . The relay itself is installed under the hood or directly in the cabin.

5) . This method of connecting foglights can be called the most optimal economy in terms of savings and minimal interference in the electronic part of the car.

Installation of fog lights on Lada Kalina

1) . The steering wheel is unscrewed until you stop.

2) . Remove the protection against dirt in the wheel arch.

3) . Decorating the latches on the plugs that stand on the place of fog and pull them out.

4) . From the inside to the bumper, the headlight is fastened with three self-draws.

5) . Outside, after fixing headlights, we establish a decorative flap that is fastened with the help of latches.

6) . We produce the same actions on the other hand.

7) . On this, the process of installing fog lights can be considered over.

Connecting PTF to car wiring

1) . At the beginning of the wires connect to the Farm himself. "Mass" also screw to the car body. Plus connect to the battery according to the scheme.

2) . Wires stretch through the windscreen space to the cabin. It is necessary to do this along the left wing, where regular mounting for wires are located. But before that, to facilitate the work, we remove the subsidence.

Connecting foglights in the cabin

1) . We unscrew the mounting bolts (4 pcs.) And dismantle the ashtray.

3) . Remove temperature controllers.

4) . Instead of the on / off buttons, the air conditioner (or plug) is set to control the headlights. Short wires connect with the same color that go to heating the glass from the back. Long wires connect to the mounting unit. The mounting block itself must be attempted to push away as much as possible.

6) . After that, all connections are insulating.

Installation of fog lamps on VAZ 2109

1) . Install and connect the button with which fog lights will be turned on and off.

2) . We remove the grille that closes the speaker, we unscrew the speaker itself and find out inside the pair of connectors. They are intended to connect the activation button of the fog headlights and the indicator of their inclusion.

3) . We remove the plug from the panel, we do not put her place your place and connect with an electrical connector. Speaker and grille return to place.

4) . Now go to the boom space. We unscrew the mounting block, or as it is also called a black box. We raise the lid, to gain access to the connectors available there.

5) . We carry out the wiring from the fog lights, as well as from the installation site of the corresponding relay to the assembly block of the fuses. But the wires of the mass relay do not need to touch.

6) . Disconnect the connectors sh7 and sh8 from the mounting unit. They are located directly from each other, but at the same time sh7 is essentially wider than sh8.

7) . We insert the prepared terminals into the connectors, based on the presented scheme.

8) . Return the connectors to the fuse block.

9) . Return to your place the extracted mounting unit.

10) . Relay mounted on the car body and under the used fastening bolt necessarily install a relay mass. Do not forget before this point of contact carefully cleaned the paint. Otherwise, the grounding will not work properly.

11) . Power wires connect in fog lights from the purchased kit.

12) . In the immediate vicinity near the fog, it is necessary at a convenient and safe, secure location. Contact with the car body should get the most reliable as possible. Otherwise, the headlights simply will not work or have problems with the stability of functioning.

13) . Install the fog lights themselves can be due to drilling holes in a metal insert. The optimal range of drilling is near the fastening bolts that hold the bumper.

14) . Some models of bumpers, in addition to standard factory, provide for the presence of already finished holes for mounting fog optics. To install them, you can use brackets that are required to go bundled with a set to connect PTF.

15) . Be sure to provide a solid fixation of fog lights so that they are not shaking during the movement.

16) . The last step of the PTF installation is to adjust them.

Installation of fog lamps on VAZ 2107

1) . To facilitate the installation of fog lights, remove the bumper.

2) . With the help of drills, we drill the holes to which the fog will be mounted. The distance between the center of fog lights to the opening under the license plate in the bumper should be about 15 cm. In this case, the headlights will be separated far enough and they will not interfere with the body parts.

3) . We deploy wires of electrical wiring from fog lights to the place of installation of an electromagnetic control relay. The wire line passes under the mudguard near the battery, through the pipe and the "fang" of the bumper to the place of attachment of the right fog light. Such a layout is optimal when the control relay is located on the right under the hood. In other cases, you can use other ways to pass the wire.

4) . We drill holes along the way of passing the wiring harness connecting the left and right fog lights.

5) . With special plastic clamps fix the harness of wires.

6) . On the bumper by mounting fastening fog headlights.

7) . Install the bumper on the car.

8) . We disassemble the fog lights, fasten the back on the attachment and bring the wires in it.

9) . We clean the tips of the wires and the crimping method is secure on them connectors.

10) . Collect fog lights in the prescribed manner.

Connection

Connection diagram of fog lights is standard. The only feature is the voltage to the control relay must be fed only after turning on the parking lights. This will not allow to leave the "fog" included when the dimensions are turned off.

The switch can be installed in a standard place on the "torpedo" by removing the plug (if any) or anywhere available from the driver's seat.

Installation of fog lamps on VAZ 2110 211 2112

Installation of fog lamps on VAZ 2114 2115

1) . We dismantle the bumper. Work should be performed only if it is disconnected from the landing place.

2) . With a bumper, we remove all the dirt.

3) . We perform marking on the installation of future fog lights.

4) . On decorative points that have an outer and inland half, perform marking. The outer half is decorative, and the internal is designed to fix the outer part and headlights.

5) . Exterior of glasses on inner side has a protrusion. This landing protrusion, the element should be included in the hole done in the bumper.

6) . For determining optimal sizes The landing protrusion should be measured. So you can make appropriate marking on your bumper.

7) . With the help of electric jigsaw, we cut the desired and location of the opening.

8) . I process the location of the cut. The outer part of the points in the end should fit tightly into the hole.

9) . In the resulting holes, we mount fog lights. This included special fastening bolts.

10) . Breaks on top of the headlights of decorative glasses. Bumper after that return to the place.

Connection

When buying a device for connecting devices is also attached to the fog pharmaceution. It is not complicated, therefore, even the newcomer will be able to figure out all the nuances of the combination of components among themselves.

You will need to trim the wiring from the counterness into the mounting block, which is located in the subcontrol space to the right of the right windshield. To do this, it is enough to unscrew the bolts from the block, lift it and find the pads with marks sh7 and sh8.

These pads are used to connect fog lights, although these lighting devices are not installed at the factory. In these pads, the wiring is connected from headlights and from the fog relay, which is provided in the purchased PTF set.

Your task is to complete the correct connection. These are performed according to the following scheme:

• The output wire from the output 87 is a mass, therefore we connect it to the car body;
• The output under number 85 goes to the block with the designation of the C7 and connect it to the number 17;
• Conclusions under the numbers 30 and 86 go to the sh8 shoe. In this case, the output 30 is connected to the connector 8, and 86, enter the number 1 connector;
• By installing the headlights, stretch through the plus wire through the rotor space, as they are connected to the sh8 shoe. But these wires need to be inserted into the connectors under the numbers 2 and 3;
• Now connect the block to the mounting unit, and the block return to the place;
• We explore the plot near the block, where the fog relays will be installed.

Included with fogs, the corresponding button is provided, which will stand on the panel on the placed location provided by the manufacturer.

Plant manufacturer, that is, AvtoVAZ provided it. Therefore, under the panel you will find a control pad. Take off the panel, we find the appropriate block and connect the button to it.

Headlights of the head (near and far) lighting, provided by the manufacturer, illuminate the road and allow you to ride a car, even in the dark. Under normal conditions, they cope with the task and do not need help. Another thing is when because of snow, rain or fog, visibility worsens. In such a situation, additional lighting may be required - fog lights. What are the features of these devices? How to install fog? What are the requirements written in traffic rules? Consider these points in more detail.

What do you need fog lights

The main disadvantage of long-distance lamps and near light is in a large volume of the beam. When driving during fog, rain or snowfall, rays fall on water particles, after which they dissipate. As a result, a white paddle is formed, due to which the already not perfect visibility is worsening.

In order to avoid the described effect, the light beam must have a limit on the upper part, that is, to be "cropped" horizontally. This means that, above a certain limit, the light beam does not rise. In addition, it should have a sufficient width, for lighting roadside road. The fulfillment of such a requirement guarantees normal visibility, even in foggy weather. At the same time, the light is not reflected from water droplets, but no matter how it is steel above the road surface.

Why does it work? It is no secret that fog is not the most expensive, but at a certain distance from the surface. It is this "layer" and illuminate special rays. The main thing is that the light source is mounted, as low as possible. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the standard lamps of near and far light are not effective, due to its high location. It saves only the installation of foglights, which are just given the necessary "lower" light.

How to put fog lights

Installation of additional lighting will be effective only in one case - with a clear compliance with the installation rules. It is important that the fastening and configuration of fog equipment is made, taking into account the current requirements prescribed in GOST and rules of PDD (See video "Installation of fog lamps on VAZ 2109" below).

How to install fog to ensure sufficient lighting in bad weather? It is worth repelled from the GOST at number 8769-75. It is prescribed the main requirements for the installation of foglights. Among them:

• The number of lighting devices - two.
• The distance from the lateral part of the body to the outer edge of the headlight is 0.4 meters.
• The distance from the surface of the road to the bottom of the lighting device is 0.25 meters.
• Reflectors (light holes) fog should be located below the top level of the lighting "window" of the Middle Lights.
• PTF visibility angles should be equal to +15 to -10 degrees - vertically, and from +45 to -10 degrees - horizontally. Within these angles, the emitted light should not be sunbathe.

On some cars, the plant-manufacturer took care of the correctness of the protoonman. So, on the bumpers of many models, there are special fasteners for PTF. If the headlights are not installed, the plugs are in special holes. In such situations, the question of how to establish fog, is not at all. When needed in fog, it is enough to dismantle the plugs, and put light sources.

Why not burn fog, about the causes and methods of eliminating this fault -.

But it is not always lucky. If the manufacturer did not prepare the place under the PTF fastening, the car owner is forced to solve the question personally. In this case, the installation of fog must be carried out, taking into account the strict installation and connection requirements. Only subject to the established norms, it is possible to be confident in the effectiveness of lighting devices and their ability to cope with the fog. After installing foglights, adjustment is made, the task of which is the installation right corner Falls of the beam of light on the surface of the road surface.

What options for connecting fog languages \u200b\u200bexist

Today, several ways to install fog devices are applied. The most reliable I. easy option - Connecting PTF to the already subordinate wires. In such a situation, the manufacturer has already thought out and implemented an electrical circuit - relays, connectors for connecting, switch, fusible and wire insert. The car owner remains a bit - the installation of fog lights and their switching with existing wiring.

The described method is relevant for cars that are supplied in complete configuration. The owner buys new opposite headlights, to replace already existing devices or delivers lighting devices (if they were not mounted at the factory). But, before installing the fog, it is worth checking their compliance with the car model, namely the connection connector and assembly characteristics.

If the car is not provided electrical circuit To connect PTF, it will have to do it yourself. To solve the problem, it is worth preparing:

• Fog.
• Switch.
• Copper insulated wires.
• Fuse.

A common mischief error is the installation of fog lamps and their switches with overall lights. But the wiring of this chain is not calculated for the current that PTF is consumed, which burns the insert fuse (fuse). The task of the latter is to protect the supply chain from the fire, in the event of a closure of wiring.

The nominal fuse current should be calculated, taking into account the power of light sources. For example, if the power of one lamp is 60 watts, the rated current for the tumor pair is calculated as follows:

Current nominal (amp) \u003d lamp power (W) * 2 / Side network voltage (volt).
We substitute the values \u200b\u200band get - 60 * 2/12 \u003d 10 amps.

When buying a fuse, you should take a device with a margin. In our case, the insertion is suitable fusible with ION \u003d 15 amps.

Knowledge, how to establish fog, and the implementation of this task is only half of the success. Now the purchased devices should be connected correctly.

First method

The simplest option is to power the PTF directly from the battery, having embarked in the chain switch. Each headlight has two contacts through which the lamps feed. One contact, from each headlight, connect to the same wire, and the wire is connected to the mass, attaching it with bolts. The body itself is connected to minus battery.

But a more preferred method - the connection of this wire is not to the mass, but to the minus terminal of the battery. This option is more reliable, because the risk of contact loss is eliminated, in the case of corrosion or weak bolt fixation.

Another contact remains at its disposal, on each spotlight, which are connected to the plus terminal of the AKB. To simplify the scheme, not yet involved contacts on two PTF, first combine, and after - are displayed on the contact relay at number 87. In this case, the installation is made, taking into account the following rules:

• The "thirtieth" contact is submitted to the fuse, and after it - to the "plus" of the rechargeable battery.
• "Eighty-sixth" contact is supplied to "minus" AKB or, as an option, connects to the body of the machine with a bolt.
• "Eighty-fifth" contact connects to the "plus" of the power supply. In this case, the wire must pass the switch and the fuse, which is used in the chain of the "thirtieth" contact.

The button through which power is supplied to the fog lamps, mounted on dashboard Or near it (in any convenient place). The relay is mounted on the circuit board.

Second way

There is a more complex option that is based on the scheme discussed above. In it, connecting to the "plus" of the battery is through the ignition lock. At the same time, the wire from the power button is not a fuse, but after the battery, but on another path - to the conductor on which the voltage occurs when the ignition is turned on. This option is good for forgetful drivers who leave the car with the inclied headlights. When installing through the castle, there is no such danger. It is enough to turn off the ignition so that the chain is born.

If you figure out how to install fog, and it is clearly followed by the recommendations considered, it is not difficult to fulfill another requirement of traffic rules - The inclusion of PTF, simultaneously with the lamps of the overall light. So that the scheme fully corresponded to the "letter" of the law, the PTF button must connect to the external lighting switch of the car.

Let's say, the question is - to put or not the fog lights (PTF) - not the most relevant, and there is no single opinion about this. Someone is constantly driving without them, someone considers them necessary and helpful. If you try to understand, you need or not the installation of fog lamps on the car, most likely, it turns out that everything is determined by the personal choice, although the arguments in favor of installing fog lamps look quite weight.

What are the advantages of PTF

Drivers, car manager at night with rain, snow or in the fog, constantly have to face such a situation when during the movement on the highway when the lighting is turned on, especially long-mounted light, it appears white, almost impenetrable to view the wall, through which nothing can be seen . The only thing that can be done in such a situation is to reduce speed, turn off far light and move using near light.

In this case, visibility on the road is significantly reduced, it becomes difficult to notice your car to the drivers of the oncoming transport, which increases the likelihood of an accident. In such a situation, the use of foglights can have very substantial assistance in managing the machine. PTF does not illuminate the road to a considerable distance in front of the car, but they make it more noticeable, and also improve visibility in front of the machine and on the sidelines.

It is due to the fact that the standard headlights and PTF the light we create is different. Staten lighting devices create a directional flow of light, in good weather conditions providing road lighting at a considerable distance. However, all this is true for the conditions of good visibility. When rain or fog, the light beam is reflected and dissipated on water drops, and an impenetrable white wall is in front of the driver.


A feature of foglights is that they form not directional light, but a wide, propagating mainly in the horizontal plane. Because of this, not directional lighting, the light flux does not differ, and it becomes possible to light the road in front of the car and sidelines.

It is necessary to consider that when installing PTF is located closer to Earth, for this there are certain norms. As you know, fog almost always hangs over the ground, and two of these factors provide greater lighting efficiency with such headlights.

Fog Plans Installation Scheme

As mentioned, the connection of fog lights should be made according to certain rules. First of all, it affects their installation and location by car. Plans for headlights strictly definedwhere they can be set - shown in the above figure



On the modern carsThe question of choosing a place of installation, practically should not stand. On most cars, on the bumper, the manufacturer includes places for PTF, most often, such headlights put a luxury configuration. If there are no headlights in the models of another configuration, then the plugs are in these places. Instead, you can independently perform installation of fog lights.

PTF connection

The task how to connect fog lights on the car is not difficult and intractable. To date, such a procedure is quite worked out, and there are many recommendations and guidelines on how to do this. Moreover, you can find the sets of fog lamps for a specific car model with detailed recommendations for their installation.

In addition, many cars use unified harnesses, which means that there are already most of the necessary chains for connecting PTF. Even if there are no such wires, then the installation of the heading is quite able to spend yourself. The scheme, how the connection is performed, is shown in the figure below:


The scheme presented makes it possible to understand that for installation and operation of PTF is necessary:

• headlights;
• relay;
• connecting headlights button.

The power button is located in the cabin, the relay is on the circuit board. Yes, it should be noted and the need to use fuses, but, as a rule, in mounting block It is possible to establish additional or engage any of the existing ones.

Such a PTF inclusion scheme provides sufficient opportunities for their use. This implies as a separate inclusion of them as running lightsAnd their sharing with neighbor and distant light.

Rules of operation of PTF.

Some special requirements for the operation of foglights, besides their placement on the car body and the rules of application in accordance with pDD provisions, not presented. The inclusion scheme when a separate button is installed in the cabin, just designed to ensure the possibility of such operation.


In cases where it is planned to use PTF, it is better to close them with protective covers. Otherwise, the likely aozhability of damage to their outsiders when moving. If this happens, no button will not help. In addition, the covers will avoid additional pollution of the PTF surface.

As for any light instruments, and for PTF, the correct and safe operation is possible if the fog lights are adjusted. It is best to perform it on special stands. Otherwise, you risk causing blinding drivers of countercourses. And it is not worth exceeding the recommended power of the bulb used in PTF. This will only cause the headlights housing and impairment of visibility due to the appearance of additional shadows on the road.

Installation on auto foglights is quite possible own forces. Regarding the opinion about whether or not PTF is needed, it is quite contradictory. In this situation, as in many others, the decision is made on the basis of personal estimates of each. You can only say one thing - with fog lights will not be worse.
